'Baltyk' clematis blooms profusely in late spring.
After a soaking from Tropical Storm Alberto
Every time I took a picture of this huge clematis, it was either too bright or too dark. It climbs up a column in my front garden and has devoured two pots, a small spirea, and a birdhouse hanging from a shepherd's crook. After it's done blooming, I'm going to cut it back just enough to launch a search and rescue mission for everything that's gone missing.
A bit of creeping bramble that's managed to escape the clutches of the clematis.
Red knautia macedonia pops up between the day lilies, phlox, and fading daffodil foliage.
Wow, that is impressive! How welcoming to all the visitors that come to your door! How old is this clematis? I just added three to my garden this year and dream of the day they look as lush and full of blooms as yours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely clematis. Our spring varieties are only just in bud at the moment.
ReplyDeleteGreat plant! I love when it grows back in spring. The flowers are just a bonus:)
ReplyDeleteI had not heard of that clematis, but what a beautiful mass of glorious blooms. I love how it drapes the front pillars. I can see how you need to go find what's missing in there! I'm still waiting for my clematis to bloom . . . soon now.
ReplyDeleteThat clematis looks very healthy! It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is one happy clematis! I'm jealous of your Monticello road trip. One day I will get there!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your secret?!! I know you mentioned before that Clematis needs water and fertilizer, but you must have the perfect spot for it, too. Just incredible!
ReplyDeletePeople must stop in their tracks in front of your house! That is so lush and beautiful. Wowza!
ReplyDeleteThis clematis blooms you incredibly rich. It looks great. Yours.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a gorgeous display! I dont know 'Baltyk' but it seems to be quite happy where it's planted. Such a pretty color, too.
ReplyDeleteThe soft purple of your 'Baltyk' clematis is really pretty and is a nice welcome at the front door. (And your mosaic looks great alongside it.)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your search and rescue! What a great clematis! One of mine seems to have Clematis wilt again, :-(
ReplyDeleteLove it! I keep saying I want to get a clematis...
ReplyDeleteThat is a happy clematis! I remember your photos of it before it bloomed, what a difference! I still really like your mosaic pot too.
